Developed in 1892 by William Willis, the platinum printing process, or “platinotype” has held its place firmly in the company of alternative photographic processes. Known for their supreme tonal range and permanency, platinum photographs are beautifully luminous and allow a malleability for tone control in artistic choice. This contemporary take on the platinotype using the Malde-Ware process makes the process accessible. It allows photographers to print from digital negatives and create prints without the necessity of a darkroom. In this four-week class, students will print digital negatives, learn to mix and properly sensitize the paper, print, and master many nuances of the process along the way. Students will be set up to continue the process on their own.
